Well today we went to the BMW dealer and ordered a Mini.

Red with white roof, black leather interior, huge power

sunroof, it comes FULLY equipped. Its actually really nice.



The salesman was super cool, he asked if we wanted the S version

with the supercharger, then told us unless you really drive the car hard

around town the regualr one is the way to go. He was so low pressure

it was a pleasure dealing with them. It will take about 8 weeks to get, they

give you a number so you track it getting built online so that will be fun.



We wanted something "different", and in that price range there

really isnt anything out there, besides if we dont like it in a few years we

will just get rid of it, lol.

i saw a old school british mini on my way to buy my friend a bong. it's should still be there, it was there for the past couple months with a little for sale sign on it.



take a pic of the whole "watch it being built" thing so we can enjoy it with you lol



kevin.

We looked at them pretty closely when we bought the protege5, very nice car. Congrats!

So are you getting the "S"?

I saw one last time I was in Jersey, right near the Mini headquarters in Montvale, it was awesome. It had a bodykit and mesh style wheels. Best of all it had manufacturer license plates. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png Maybe thats a hint of what is coming out soon https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

I test drove a supercharged new mini, it was pretty damn fast. There are a bunch of new mini's in town driving around, and several for sale.

Oh by the way, here is a good forum. They have the bmw's seperated from the austins. http://www.minimania.com/

I saw one of those at SCCA, and all I could hear the whole time was the supercharger screaming at all the other cars. It actually did very decent for a novice driver, also. Good buy!

nice job rob. now u and 94touring are the only mini owners i know
